[Vwdiesel] Looking for a source for 1.6 cam for hydraulic lifters ASAP

[82 Diesel Westy]

Scratch that, VW Jack from OH says no difference
between 1.6 cam for mechanical or hyrdraulic lifters,
other than the part number.  He had interchanged them
over the 100's of motors he has built, no issues.

Not my problem, thanks anyway
Bryan
